Unstable Packages

It is often useful to have access to the Debian unstable branch because it has some interesting packages like PHP5 and rTorrent (a C++ Torrent client which is much less CPU intensive than the original bittorrent and also easier to use from console). Using the unstable packages saves you the time to compile these packages your self. The good thing is you don't have to change your whole installation to unstable you can simply use your stable or testing repository and just use the packages not in there from the unstable repository.
